Fig. 35 — Multiple Coil High Pressure Piping
* When end of supply main, see Fig. 34.
NOTES:
1. Flange or union is located to facilitate coil removal.
2. Flash trap may be used if pressure differential between steam and
condensate return exceeds 5 psi.
3. When a bypass with control is required.
4. Dirt leg may be replaced with a strainer. If so, tee on drop can be
replaced by a reducing ell.
5. The petcock is not necessary with a bucket trap or any trap which
has provision for passing air. The great majority of high or medium
pressure returns end in hot wells or deaerators which vent the air.

NOTES:
1. Flange or union is located to facilitate coil removal.
2. When a bypass with control is required.
3. Flash trap can be used if pressure differential between supply
and condensate return exceeds 5 psi.
4. Coils with different pressure drops require individual traps. This
is often caused by varying air velocities across the coil bank.
5. Dirt leg may be replaced with a strainer. If so, tee on drop can be
replaced by a reducing ell.
6. The petcock is not necessary with a bucket trap or any trap
which has provision for passing air. The great majority of high
pressure return mains terminate in hot wells or deaerators which
vent the air.
7. When dripping steam supply main to condensate return, refer to
Dripping Steam Supply to Condensate Return figure.
